The signs of bowel cancer you need to know – remember BOWEL
B:Bleeding
There are several possible causes of bleeding from your bottom, or blood in your poo.
Bright red blood could come from swollen blood vessels, haemorrhoids or piles, in your back passage.
Dark red or black blood could come from your bowel or stomach.
Blood in your stools is one of the key signs of bowel cancer, so it’s important to mention it to your doctor so they can investigate.
2. O: Obvious change in loo habits
It’s important to tell your GP if you have noticed any changes in your bowel habits that last three weeks or longer.
It’s especially important if you have also noticed signs of blood in your poo.
You might notice you need to go to the loo more often, you might have looser stools or feel like you’re not going enough or fully emptying your bowels.
Don’t be embarrassed, your GP will have heard a lot worse! Speak up and get it checked.
3. W: Weight loss
This is less common than the other symptoms, but an important one to be aware of. If you’ve lost weight and don’t really know why, it’s worth mentioning to your GP.
You may not feel like eating, feel sick, bloated and not hungry.
4. E: Extreme tiredness
Bowel cancer that causes bleeding can cause a lack of iron in the body – anaemia. If you develop anaemia you’re likely to feel tired and your skin might look pale.
5. L: Lump or pain
As with lots of other forms of cancer, a lump or pain can be a sign of bowel cancer.
It’s most likely you’ll notice a pain or lump in your stomach or back passage.
See your GP if it doesn’t go away, or if it affects how you eat or sleep
“See you on the other side.”
She captioned the post: “Slight setback but nothing that can’t be fixed.”
Many rushed to the comments section to share that she is in their thoughts, including her reality star son Calum, who wrote: “I love u and we have got this.”
Another said: “You are in my prayers.”
“Sending love and hugs and strength xx,” a third chimed in.
A fourth added: “Wishing you a speedy recovery sending love and prayers.”
After major surgery to remove atumour from her colon in July, Angie told fans the incredible news that she is free of the disease.
Sharing her good news on Instagram, she wrote: “Bit different from all the miserable videos of the last 7 months. I’m a truly happy grateful girl, it’s over.”
In a video update, a relaxed Angie explained: “The chemo and the immunotherapy prior had shrunk my 30cm lump down to a little tiny bit that was attached to the colon.
“They shrunk it, now we go in and cut it out… A bit like an interior designer coming in and moving the furniture around, but it still works.
“So then it’s done, they sew you up, then they wait three days, and in those three days, they give you fluids only.
“So of course I lost so much weight, this is why I look so drawn, but I’m not worried about that because I’ve just been eating some shrimp tempura and I’m gonna gain that weight back again without no worries about that.
“On the fourth day, they give you your first meal, very sensible meal, all white.
“And then they wait for the next morning to see if you go to the bathroom.
“I did. And again the next day and again the next day, so everything was working as it should perfectly in my little colon.
“I’m so happy because now I can officially say with gratitude and love that I am cancer free and healing. All I’ve got to do now is get better.
“I’ve got to heal and I can do that. That’s what I’m good at. God knows it’s the only thing I’m good at.
“But I can’t come home yet because this was such a major operation. I have to wait eight days and sit and wait, but I’m gonna use that time to heal and get better.
“I’ve got so much I want to do. I’m going to reinvent myself at the ripe old age of 74. Wish me luck!”
